“The plaintiff has acknowledged that she is an adult but further avers that she has demonstrated special circumstances that require assistance from the defendant,” said her lawyer, Edwin Wafula.
“Mvurya is a man of means, having been a governor in Kwale County and now CS. Due to the apparent special circumstances, she is entitled to maintenance and sustenance from the CS.”
The plaintiff told the court that Mvurya has never disputed being her biological father but has been supporting her “sparingly” throughout her life.
She also argued that since he promised to educate her, she is entitled to share in his fortunes even in adulthood.
